Description

L'invention se rapporte à un frein à disque notamment destiné à équiper un véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a disc brake in particular intended to equip a motor vehicle.

L'invention concerne en particulier un frein à disque à étrier coulissant sur un support fixe comportant un premier élément de friction susceptible d'être appliqué sur une face d'un disque de freinage au moyen d'un moteur de frein au travers d'un poussoir et un deuxième élément de friction susceptible d'être appliqué sur l'autre face du disque au travers de l'étrier coulissant.The invention relates in particular to a disc brake with a sliding caliper on a fixed support comprising a first friction element capable of being applied to one face of a brake disc by means of a brake motor through a pusher and a second friction element capable of being applied to the other face of the disc through the sliding stirrup.

On connaît de nombreux freins à disque de ce type dont certains comportent un dispositif permettant le déplacement axial du poussoir par rapport au moteur de frein en particulier lorsque ce poussoir subit une rotation sur lui-même. Un frein de ce type est décrit dans le brevet français N° 1 317 919 dans lequel le poussoir est formé par le piston du moteur de frein et dont la rotation permet d'avancer ou de reculer ce piston. Ce brevet en outre montre un dispositif de réglage automatique qui fonctionne correctement lorsque le piston est empêché de tourner et ceci lors du fonctionnement normal du frein. On remarquera que le recul du piston peut être obtenu soit en tournant la vis après avoir démonté le levier ce qui nécessite des interventions complémentaires ou bien on peut agir sur le piston après avoir retiré les éléments de friction. L'une et l'autre de ces opérations présentent des inconvénients difficiles ou impossibles à surmonter, on citera par exemple le cas de l'arrière du moteur de frein inaccessible par exemple lorsque la commande mécanique est assurée par un copin, et l'impossibilité de démonter les éléments de friction lorsque le disque de freinage est usé et présente sur sa périphérie extérieure une collerette qui s'oppose au démontage des éléments de friction.Many disc brakes of this type are known, some of which include a device allowing the axial movement of the plunger relative to the brake motor, in particular when this plunger is rotated on itself. A brake of this type is described in French Patent No. 1 317 919 in which the plunger is formed by the piston of the brake motor and the rotation of which makes it possible to advance or reverse this piston. This patent also shows an automatic adjustment device which functions correctly when the piston is prevented from turning and this during normal operation of the brake. It will be noted that the recoil of the piston can be obtained either by turning the screw after having dismantled the lever which requires additional interventions or else one can act on the piston after having removed the friction elements. Both of these operations have drawbacks which are difficult or impossible to overcome, for example the case of the rear of the brake motor inaccessible, for example when the mechanical control is provided by a friend, and the impossibility to dismantle the friction elements when the brake disc is worn and has on its outer periphery a flange which opposes the disassembly of the friction elements.

L'invention propose un frein à disque de construction simple et ne comportant pas les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The invention provides a disc brake of simple construction and without the drawbacks mentioned above.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un frein à disque à étrier coulissant sur un support fixe comportant un premier élément de friction susceptible d'être appliqué sur une face d'un disque de freinage au moyen d'un moteur de frein au travers d'un poussoir et un deuxième élément de friction susceptible d'être appliqué sur l'autre face du disque au travers de l'étrier coulissant, la rotation dudit poussoir étant susceptible de déplacer celui-ci axialement par rapport au moteur de frein caractérisé en ce que le frein comporte un organe de réglage et de retenue présentant à une de ses extrémités une fourche destinée à coopérer avec des surfaces complémentaires formées sur ledit poussoir et présentant à l'autre de ses extrémités un orifice au moyen duquel ledit organe est immobilisé, au travers d'un moyen amovible, par rapport audit premier élément de friction.To this end, the invention provides a disc brake with caliper sliding on a fixed support comprising a first friction element capable of being applied to one face of a braking disc by means of a brake motor through '' a plunger and a second friction element capable of being applied to the other face of the disc through the sliding caliper, the rotation of said plunger being capable of displacing the latter axially with respect to the brake motor characterized in that the brake comprises an adjustment and retaining member having at one of its ends a fork intended to cooperate with complementary surfaces formed on said plunger and having at the other of its ends an orifice by means of which said member is immobilized, at through a removable means, with respect to said first friction element.

Il apparaît que grâce à ces caractéristiques, en fonctionnement normal du frein, l'organe de réglage et de retenue interdit la rotation du poussoir, et après démontage du moyen amovible l'organe de réglage et de retenue permet d'assurer la rotation du poussoir grâce à la coopération de la fourche et des surfaces complémentaires du poussoir.It appears that thanks to these characteristics, in normal operation of the brake, the adjustment and retaining member prohibits rotation of the pusher, and after disassembly of the removable means the adjustment and retaining member ensures rotation of the pusher thanks to the cooperation of the fork and the complementary surfaces of the pusher.

Ce dispositif permet également d'assurer un pré- réglage manuel du frein et éviter une course excessive du moteur de frein après remplacement des éléments de friction par exemple.This device also makes it possible to ensure manual presetting of the brake and to avoid excessive stroke of the brake motor after replacing the friction elements for example.

On décrira maintenant à titre d'exemple non limitatif un mode de réalisation de l'invention en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • la fig. 1 est une vue de dessus avec découpe partielle d'un frein à disque réalisé conformément à l'invention;
  • la fig. 2 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne 2-2 du frein de la fig, 1;
  • la fig. 3 est une vue partielle selon la flèche A de la fig. 2; et
  • la fig. 4 est une vue partielle en coupe selon la ligne 4-4 de la fig. 2.'
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • fig. 1 is a top view with partial cutout of a disc brake produced in accordance with the invention;
  • fig. 2 is a sectional view along line 2-2 of the brake of FIG, 1;
  • fig. 3 is a partial view along arrow A of FIG. 2; and
  • fig. 4 is a partial sectional view along line 4-4 of FIG. 2. '

Le frein à disque représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 comporte un étrier désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 10 coulissant sur un support fixe 12 associé à une partie fixe du véhicule (non'représentée). Le frein à disque comporte deux éléments de friction 14 et 16 placés de part et d'autre d'un disque de freinage 18. L'étrier 10 comporte un moteur de frein désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 20, ce moteur de frein est du type à commande à coin, c'est à dire quil comporte un coin 27 susceptible d'être déplacé dans le sens de la flèche B sous l'effet d'un vérin par exemple, ce déplacement dans le sens de la flèche B au travers des galets 24 sollicite une pièce coulissante 26 dans le sens de la flèche C. Cette pièce coulissante 26 est susceptible de déplacer dans le sens de la flèche C un poussoir fileté 28 au travers d'un écrou 30. Le moteur de frein 20 est équipé en outre d'un dispositif de réglage automatique désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 32, ce réglage automatique peut être du type de celui décrit dans le brevet français 1 317 919, ce réglage automatique ne sera pas décrit davantage. Le poussoir 28 est susceptible de solliciter un premier élément de friction 14 au travers d'une semelle de renforcement 34 au moyen d'une portion 36 placée du côté de l'élément de friction 14 et présentant la forme d'une tête hexagonale. Cette tête hexagonale présente 3 paires de deux côtés opposés 38, formant surfaces complémentaires, avec lesquels coopère une fourche 40 formée à une extrémité 42 d'un organe de réglage et de retenue désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 44. Cet organe de retenue 44 comporte à son autre extrémité 46 un orifice 48 au travers duquel passe une vis 50 vissé dans l'élément de friction 14 et traversant une ouverture oblongue 52 formée dans la semelle 34. Le diamètre de l'orifice 49 est légèrement inférieur au diamètre de la partie filetée de la vis 50. On notera par ailleurs que l'ouverture oblongue 52 débouche sur le bord périphérique externe de la semelle 34. La vis 50 forme un moyen amovible. En se reportant aux figures 1, 2 et 3 on voit que l'élément de friction 14 est fixé à la semelle 34 au moyen d'une deuxième vis 53, de même le deuxième élément de friction 16 est fixé à l'étrier 10 au moyen de deux vis 54. En se reportant aux figures 2 et 4 on voit que outre les vis 50, 53 et 54 les éléments de friction 14 et 16 comportent des pions 56 qui pénètrent dans des ouvertures 58 formées soit sur la semelle 34 pour l'élément de friction 14 soit sur l'étrier 10 pour l'élément de friction 16. Ces pions 56 en coopérant avec les ouvertures 58 permettent de transferrer les efforts de freinage respectivement sur la semelle 34 et sur l'étrier 10.The disc brake shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a caliper designated as a whole by the reference 10 sliding on a fixed support 12 associated with a fixed part of the vehicle (not shown). The disc brake comprises two friction elements 14 and 16 placed on either side of a brake disc 18. The caliper 10 comprises a brake motor designated as a whole by the reference 20, this brake motor is of the wedge control type, that is to say it comprises a wedge 27 capable of being displaced in the direction of arrow B under the effect of a jack for example, this displacement in the direction of arrow B at through rollers 24 urges a sliding part 26 in the direction of arrow C. This sliding part 26 is capable of moving in the direction of arrow C a threaded plunger 28 through a nut 30. The brake motor 20 is further equipped with an automatic adjustment device designated as a whole by the reference 32, this automatic adjustment can be of the type described in French patent 1 317 919, this automatic adjustment will not be described further. The pusher 28 is capable of urging a first friction element 14 through a reinforcement sole 34 by means of a portion 36 placed on the side of the friction element 14 and having the shape of a hexagonal head. This hexagonal head has 3 pairs of two opposite sides 38, forming complementary surfaces, with which cooperates a fork 40 formed at one end 42 of an adjustment and retaining member designated as a whole by the reference 44. This retaining member 44 has at its other end 46 an orifice 48 through which passes a screw 50 screwed into the friction element 14 and passing through an oblong opening 52 formed in the sole 34. The diameter of the orifice 49 is slightly less than the diameter of the threaded part of the screw 50. It will also be noted that the oblong opening 52 opens onto the external peripheral edge of the sole 34. The screw 50 forms a removable means. Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3 we see that the friction element 14 is fixed to the sole 34 by means of a second screw 53, likewise the second friction element 16 is fixed to the stirrup 10 to the by means of two screws 54. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, it can be seen that, in addition to the screws 50, 53 and 54, the friction elements 14 and 16 include pins 56 which penetrate into openings 58 formed either on the sole 34 for the friction element 14 or on the caliper 10 for the friction element 16. These pins 56, by cooperating with the openings 58, make it possible to transfer the braking forces respectively to the sole 34 and to the caliper 10.

Le frein qui vient d'être décrit à l'aide des figures 1 à 4 fonctionne de la manière suivante:The brake which has just been described with the aid of FIGS. 1 to 4 operates in the following manner:

Lorsqu'un effort est appliqué dans le sens de la flèche B sur le coin 22, celui-ci se déplace également dans le sens de la flèche B et exerce au travers des galets 24 un effort dans le sens de la flèche C sur la pièce coulissante 26. Cette pièce déplace également dans le sens de la flèche C l'écrou 30 et le poussoir 28 au travers de la liaison filetée entre ces deux derniers éléments. Le poussoir 28 par sa portion 36 déplace également dans le sens de la flèche C la semelle 34 et l'élément de friction 14 qui lui est associé. Ce déplacement applique l'élément de friction 14 sur le disque 18 et par réaction au travers de l'étrier coulissant 10 applique l'élément de friction 16 sur l'autre face du disque 18. Au relâchement du freinage les différents éléments reprennent leur position représentée sur la fig. 1.When a force is applied in the direction of arrow B on the corner 22, the latter also moves in the direction of arrow B and exerts, through the rollers 24, a force in the direction of arrow C on the part sliding 26. This part also moves in the direction of arrow C the nut 30 and the pusher 28 through the threaded connection between these last two elements. The pusher 28 by its portion 36 also moves in the direction of arrow C the sole 34 and the friction element 14 which is associated with it. This movement applies the friction element 14 to the disc 18 and by reaction through the sliding caliper 10 applies the friction element 16 to the other face of the disc 18. When the braking is released, the different elements resume their position shown in fig. 1.

Lorsque l'on veut changer les éléments de friction 14 et 16 on procède de la manière suivante: Dans un premier temps on dévisse la vis 50 et à l'aide de l'organe de réglage et de retenue 44 utilisé comme une clé plate on revisse le poussoir 28 à l'intérieur de son écrou 30 en se servant de ia portion 36 formant tête hexagonale. Ce déplacement du poussoir 28 dans le sens contraire de la flèche C permet de dégager les pions 56 des ouvertures 58 formées sur la semelle 34 ceci après avoir déposé la vis 53. L'élément de friction 14 peut alors être extrait du frein au travers de l'ouverture formée sur l'étrier 10 en inclinant légèrement cet élément de friction 14 pour permettre son passage. En déplaçant l'étrier dans le sens de la flèche C et en déposant les deux vis 54 on peut de même extraire l'élément de friction 16. Après le remplacement de l'élément de friction 16 on revisse les vis 54 puis on déplace l'étrier dans le sens inverse de la flèche C et on met en place l'élément de friction 14, on visse la vis 53 maintenant cet élément de friction 14 sur la semelle 34. A l'aide de l'organe, de réglage et de retenue 44 on dévisse le poussoir 28 de manière à l'amener au contact de la semelle 34 ce qui permet de rattraper les jeux, on fixe alors la vis 50 dans l'élément de friction 14 ce qui a pour effet d'une part de maintenir l'élément de friction 14 en appui sur la semelle 34 de même que le faisait la vis 53 et d'autre part au moyen de la fourche 40 formée sur l'organe 44 d'immobiliser le poussoir 28 et donc d'éviter toute rotation incontrôlée de ce poussoir. Cette immobilisation est d'autant plus importante dans le cas où le moteur de frein comporte un réglage automatique 32 où le fonctionnement de ce réglage dépend essentiellement de la non rotation du poussoir 28.When we want to change the friction elements 14 and 16 we proceed as follows: First we unscrew the screw 50 and using the adjusting and retaining member 44 used as a wrench screw the pusher 28 back inside its nut 30 using the portion 36 forming a hexagonal head. This movement of the pusher 28 in the opposite direction of the arrow C allows the pins 56 to be released from the openings 58 formed on the sole 34 this after having deposited the screw 53. The friction element 14 can then be removed from the brake through the opening formed on the stirrup 10 by slightly tilting this friction element 14 to allow its passage. By moving the stirrup in the direction of arrow C and by removing the two screws 54, the friction element 16 can also be removed. After replacing the friction element 16, the screws 54 are tightened again and then the l 'caliper in the opposite direction of arrow C and the friction element 14 is put in place, the screw 53 is screwed holding this friction element 14 on the sole 34. With the aid of the member, adjustment and retaining 44 unscrews the pusher 28 so as to bring it into contact with the sole 34 which makes it possible to make up for the clearances, the screw 50 is then fixed in the friction element 14 which has the effect on the one hand to maintain the friction element 14 in abutment on the sole 34 as did the screw 53 and on the other hand by means of the fork 40 formed on the member 44 to immobilize the pusher 28 and therefore to avoid any uncontrolled rotation of this pusher. This immobilization is all the more important in the case where the brake motor comprises an automatic adjustment 32 where the operation of this adjustment depends essentially on the non-rotation of the pusher 28.

On notera que grâce à l'invention, l'immobilisation du poussoir 36 est très simple et permet une intervention manuelle lorsque celà est nécessaire avec un outil approprié disponible en permanence sur le frein. On notera également que la vis 50 étant prisonnière de l'organe de réglage de retenue 44 les risques d'oubli de montage de la vis 50 sont supprimés.It will be noted that thanks to the invention, the immobilization of the pusher 36 is very simple and allows manual intervention when this is necessary with an appropriate tool permanently available on the brake. It will also be noted that the screw 50 being trapped in the retaining adjustment member 44 the risks of forgetting to mount the screw 50 are eliminated.
